Overview

The Cancer Institute NSW will work through the provision of $600,000 to provide grants to stakeholder organisations working towards:

• improving cancer outcomes for Aboriginal people
• improving cancer outcomes for people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds
• improving cancer outcomes for people in rural and remote NSW
• greater system-wide engagement with primary care.

The grants will be provided to stakeholders to either extend a current activity or undertake a discrete small piece of work that are consistent with the above initiatives. The grants are one off and any activities undertaken must be sustainable without further funding from the Cancer Institute NSW.

The grants will be allocated via an expression of interest process in the following way:

• $200,000 for projects focusing on cancer in CALD communities
• $200,000 for projects on cancer care in the primary care sector
• $200,000 for projects on cancer in Aboriginal communities.
